Oxford Food Mart opens today
OXFORD – Fresh meats and produce will be available in Oxford once more with the grand opening of the Oxford Food Mart Friday. The small grocery store, owned by brothers Glenn and David Johnson, is located on South Canal Street.
The brothers purchased the building in December of 2007 and contemplated several uses for the space before deciding to open the Food Mart. “We were thinking of doing a restaurant,” said David Johnson, “but found there was an overwhelming need for a grocery store.”
The Johnsons were attracted to the Route 12 location because of the visibility it offers. “Parking may be a little tight,” said Glenn Johnson, but the brothers are not overly concerned. They feel customers will not have difficulty finding parking in either the Village Parking Lot across the street or the lot, also owned by the village, which adjoins the Town Hall.
“Mayor (Terry) Stark was instrumental in getting this built,” said Glenn Johnson, pointing out the gravel walkway the village has created to connect the Oxford Food Mart with the adjacent parking area.
The store will stock a wide array of products including dairy, breads, frozen foods, canned goods, tobacco products and other staples. The brothers are particularly proud of their selection of fresh meats, supplied by Purdy & Sons of Sherburne. They also plan to carry local produce.
More grocery items will be added after the Oxford Food Mart opens. The brothers are still looking for distributors for some items, like birch beer. The case meant to contain beer of the alcoholic kind will be empty until licensing is finalized.
The mention of Scandinavian Imports on the store’s sign has intrigued many. The brothers promise to have these delicacies in stock by Labor Day.
The store’s hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Food Mart will be closed on Mondays.
